I have been searching the forum and the wiki for the last 30 minutes and while I am finding similar topics, I still have not been able to get anything that I have been able to use to generate a verse list of Christ's quotations of the OT. I know (e.g. HCSB) that there are search fields for OT Quotations as well as WOC - but how do I get all references regardless of a particular word within the quotation?

ot-quote:* WITHIN 0 WORDS words-of-christ:* ought to work, but it's far too slow. Five minutes and counting, and I only chose Matthew 1-2 as a test! Better to run the two separately, save to a passage list, then merge the two lists, I think.

Yes, a book at a time works best, thanks for the tip Dave, but I'll not give up using (Beale, G. K., & Carson, D. A. (2007). Commentary on the New Testament use of the Old Testament. Grand Rapids, MI; Nottingham, UK: Baker Academic; Apollos.)

I got this back with your search criteria, I thought I was missing some, so I tried it with "All Biblical Text" and had the same results. Some how I can't believe that's all there is? Good practice with doing searches if nothing else. For folks who want to try some of these, I would recommend you check out the wiki that Mark was pointing to.

I was thinking there ought to be a way to do this by starting with one of the following Bible Harmony resources:

Old Testament Quotations and Allusions in the New Testament (David A. Jones)

Old Testament Quotes in the New Testament (H. David Philipps)

You'd need to somehow create a Passage List out of it, and then intersect that with a Passage List made up of all the words of Christ and you'd have your answer. I've got a words of Christ PL, but generating a PL of all the Scripture references in an entire book isn't as easy as it sounds. You can't actually select an entire book at once (it seems like you can, if you click at the top, scroll to the bottom, and shift click at the bottom, but if you back up a bit you realize only the last section of the book ended up being selected). This is for copyright reasons. However you can go into Print/Export, click a checkmark in every single section of the book, and export to a text document, then create a PL from that text document. I think that will work, however it's taking such a long time I'm not going to wait around and see if it works.

It will take a long time, so you might want to generate it a book at a time eg. Matthew, then Mark etc.

It may take a very long time but do it in one go (ie. the New Testament) because generating a Passage List from the search also takes a long time. You should get 4322 results in 290 verses. The search took about 5 minutes on my quad core Desktop.

I got 4,588 results in 290 verses, not 4322. Did I do the same search as you?

That doesn't make any difference for me (and shouldn't!). I'm rebuilding the library index as the results highlighting is suspect, which indicates it hasn't counted the words that should have been highlighted.
